Dave Brubeck’s defining masterpiece, Time Out is one of the most rhythmically innovative albums in jazz history, the first to consciously explore time signatures outside of the standard 4/4 beat or 3/4 waltz time. Countless other musicians built on its pioneering experiments, yet it’s amazingly accessible for all its advanced thinking, a rare feat in any art form.
Song: Take Five [5:24]

Lungfish’s Feral Hymns is never less than gripping and sees the band at their most minimal. This record demands you sit down and listen to it. It is not one to dip in and out of at will.

by John Archibald
Songs:
1. Way Out Is The Way Out [5:19]
2. Sweet Nucleus [5:51]
